Two Professors Study English as She Is Spoke
WALTHAM, Mass. — Why does
the English language, which is
basically Germanic, have a sys-
tem of pronunciation essentially
Latin?
A Brandeis professor and his
colleague from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology think that
children have a lot to do with it.

JERUSALEM (J TA) — King
Hussein's statement that the cease
fire should be maintained was in-
terpreted here by political obser-
vers as meaning that Jordan will
keep the cease fire even if Egyp-
tian President Anwar Sadat orders
a renewal of warfare with Israel.
Hussein, during an interview
with the Beirut newspaper Al
Nahar, said that an attack on
Israel by Arab states could only
lead to a disaster for the Arabs
with further loss of territories for
them. Political observers said that
this constituted a threat to Sadat
that Hussein may seek a separate
interim arrangement with Israel
if Arab pressure on him continues.
Hussein declared in the inter-
view that Arab pressures on his
nation "will neither affect us nor
will they make us change our
policy." Such pressures, he noted,
"will only increase the coherence
of our ranks and bolster our
faith." This statement was seen
here as a response to boycott
threats by other Arab states for
Jordan's military on s l a u g h t
against the Palestinian terrorists.
Algeria, Syria and Libya have
severed relations with Jordan, and
Syria and Iraq have closed their
borders with Jordan and can-
celled Jordan's right to use their
air spaces.
The Jordanian monarch declared
in his interview that he would
never again tolerate the presence
of terrorists within his nation's
borders and. declared that if the
other Arab states halted their
pressures "Jordan would be ready
to coordinate militarily with the
other brothers in the confronta-
tion" against Israel. He also stated
that the disaster facing the Arab
states if they launched a war with
Israel now is due to the fact that
they are weak and disorganized.
